Kenmore PN 318205824A -1012 Self-Clean Time Length, When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed

Self-Cleaning Cycle

Self-Clean Time Length

*For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.

To Set a Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self- Clean Cycle

See example below to start an immediate 4 hours Self- Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o'clock and shut-off automatically.

1.Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is EMPTY and the door is closed.

2.Press Clean.

3.Press 4, 0, 0.

Note: If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press 2, 0,

0 for a 2 hour or press 4, 0, 0 for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil: light, average or heavy (*see above).

4.Press Start.

As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door has been locked the "Door Locked" indicator light will stop flashing and remain on.

Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.

Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed, finish steps 5-7.

5.Press Delay Start.

6.Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the number pads 9, 0, 0.

7.Press Start.

The control will calculate forward from the set start time to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end. The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the set time.

•To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

•DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-clean cycle is finished. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:

1.The “DOOR LOCKED”, “CLEAN” and “HOT” icons will remain in the display.

2.Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened.

NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning cycle:

1.Press Stop.

2.Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the “DOOR LOCKED” light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3.Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

Important notes:

-Starting a Self-Clean cycle will turn ON the Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked.

-When a Self-Clean cycle is turn on, the oven light will be disable and if the oven light is On, it will turn OFF automatically.
